Udforsk vores fashion agora, hvor du kan møde en mangfoldig gruppe designere, som arbejder med bæredygtigt design og cirkulære forretningsmodeller.
Oplev også den ikoniske dekonstruerede catwalk – et kunstnerisk show, der kombinerer teater med klassisk catwalk. Her møder du et bredt cast af modeller iført unikke outfits skabt af designere og samarbejdspartnere fra AFW CPH. Showet er både kreativt, legende og altid med et vigtigt budskab.
Derudover byder programmet på talks, paneldebatter, workshops og aktiviteter, som giver forskellige perspektiver på design, håndværk og bæredygtighed.
🎭 Årets tema: Åndeverden og havet
Vi undersøger forbindelserne mellem vores forbrug og livsverdener, der ligger langt fra vores egen. Naturen er ikke blot en ressource – den er en kraft, en hukommelse, et væsen. Vores affald forsvinder ikke, det flytter sig – og påvirker steder, arter og kulturer, der ikke bærer skylden. Måske taler naturens ånder nu til os. Ikke for at skræmme, men for at vække.
📌 Programmet opdateres løbende – følg med!
Om AFW CPH:
Hos AFW CPH skaber vi en platform for kreativitet og nytænkning i mode- og tekstilbranchen. Vi arbejder for en ny modeorden, hvor bæredygtig omstilling og socialt ansvar er i centrum.
Vi samarbejder med designere og aktører, der prioriterer upcycling, genanvendelse og rettigheder i både værdier og praksis. Samtidig tager vi aktivt afstand fra trendkulturen og ideen om, at nogle stilarter er mere “moderne” end andre – en tankegang, der understøtter en skadelig brug-og-smid-væk-kultur.
For os handler det ikke bare om tøj – det handler om miljø, mental trivsel og menneskerettigheder.

🎭 This year’s theme: The Spirit World and the Ocean
We explore the hidden connections between our consumption and distant life-worlds. Nature is not just a resource – it’s a force, a memory, a being. Our waste doesn’t disappear; it travels – reaching shores, species, and cultures untouched by our overconsumption. Perhaps, through silence and storms alike, the spirits of nature are now speaking to us. Not to frighten – but to awaken.
📌 The full program will be updated continuously – stay tuned!
About AFW CPH:
At AFW CPH, we provide a platform for creativity and innovation within the fashion and textile industries. Our mission is to promote a new order rooted in sustainability and social responsibility.
We collaborate with designers and changemakers who place upcycling, reuse, and rights at the core of their work and values. We also reject the concept of trends and the notion that certain styles are more fashionable than others – an idea that fuels a harmful throwaway culture.
For us, fashion is not just about clothes – it's about the environment, mental well-being, and human rights.
